Watch Rockman Diver In Action

Footage of the newly released mobile phone game Rockman Diver has surfaced online courtesy of megacocorock. While the game may sound simple in theory, it actually looks quite challenging. Also, it's worth noting that Splash Woman is apparently a playable character! Check it out below.

The further you dive without death, the higher your score. Additional points are earned from successfully snatching a Yashichi.

I wouldn't mind having this on our shores, but for 315 Yen ($3.80)? Eh, I don't think so. $0.99 seems a bit more reasonable, if you ask me.

I wonder if anyone else noticed that the music wasn't exactly like the NES/WiiWare counterparts. Rather, it sounded like it was remade by the same person who did the music for the Rockman 7 & 8 FC Fangame remakes on PC, while having the most similarities to Rockman 8 FC(especially Bubble Man's stage music). Either that, or someone else uses PXTone, FL Studio or something.

Speaking of the game itself, it reminds me of the Paper Plane mini-game originally featured in Warioware. I would consider getting this, if the difficulty increased. But it didn't look like it did, if at all, by any reasonable margin. So I would pass on this, unless the price dropped on it.

Can someone figure out a way to rip the BGM for Bubble Man's? My brother just mentioned it to me as well about how his was not as Famicom/NES accurate as the other two. (and no I don't want to rip it through YouTube. Quality isn't high enough :|)

Protodude, I don't understand Japanese, but the video seems to be for a customized version of the game called "Rockman Diver Kai" done in Flash, not the original game. Someone that speak Japanese can confirm this?
